Kirby's Poetry

The Red Blanket

A square package under the christmas tree

Holds a gift of comfort and warmth

For winter nights and dewy mornings

With a cup of rich, toasty hot cocoa, sprinkled with marshmallows

Wrapped around shoulders like a cape

Or bundled like a bug in a rug

There's nothing more sacred

Than the protection of a silky red blanket

To accompany you on nightly adventures

Or soak up the rising sun's glow
